So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

"The plan might have worked if the company had, I don't know, partnered with magazine publishers to make free ad-supported versions of the magazine available. ... Not a flawed business model that was incurring the wrath of publishers."
Online media remains in a state of ever-changing flux and the traditional publishing industry in particular is in a fight for their existence, so whether you like what you call "sharing" or not, it is mostly likely on the backs of innovators--even websites with awful user interfaces that deservedly fail not quickly enough, that will lead us to the future, and improbably big content acting on their own, because they have more interest and experience in maintaining the status quo.
Also, that passive-aggressive bit doesn't work so well.

I've been to this site and I wish I could say good things. It was quite revolting how much porn can come up when you type in PCmagazine...

Spin, spin, spin...
Besides I can really see a publisher getting interested in their "business model."
"OK Mr. Mygazines, you put our content up on the web and let anybody read it for free. And that benefits my periodical by...."

So with full scans of the magazines that means users of the site also viewed the ads every magazine is full of as well? I can't see why that's a problem.
If the publishers would hurry up and realize that giving me the ability to view the same articles online as though I'd bought the issue they'd be better off. Less money in printing costs is the way to win.
